Northwest Vista College Tai Chi Instructor Earns 'Master' Title

Northwest Vista College’s Tai Chi instructor Sal De La Rosa (pictured above) is receiving one of the highest achievement awards in the martial art of Taijiquan. He will be inducted into the great family lineage of Master Chen Zhenglei of Chen Village (China), the birthplace of Chen style Taijiquan. This summer Sal will attend a ceremony in Eugene, Oregon, which will bestow the title of “Master” on him. Northwest Vista College will be proud to welcome back Master De La Rosa as he continues to share his talents with our students. Next summer, Master De La Rosa will travel to Chen Family Village, China, where he will be inducted into Master Zhenglei’s lineage and become a 12th generation inheritor of Chen style Taijiquan.

  
Northeast Lakeview College Assistant Professor Cuihua Zhang, Ph.D., left for a three-week familiarization visit to China sponsored by the College of Staten Island/The City University of New York and College Consortium for International Studies (CCIS). The visit will introduce Dr. Zhang and her travel companions to international exchange opportunities and study abroad programs in China; and will introduce US educators to Chinese educators at some of China’s most prestigious institutions. Dr. Zhang’s travel was funded through the ACCD International Programs office and through a travel grant awarded by the College Consortium for International Studies. Dr. Zhang will be teaching a course in Chinese in the fall at Northeast Lakeview College, with the intention of one day developing a Chinese Studies program.
